Associated Press:

LOS ANGELES – A Romanian man was indicted on charges that he hacked into more than 150 government computers used by the Navy, Department of Energy and NASA.
Victor Faur, 26, of Arad, Romania, cost the government $1.5 million in losses by computers over a two-year period that ended last month, according to the indictment issued Thursday by a federal grand jury here.
“The computers that had to be taken out of service and repaired were collecting and analyzing scientific data that cannot be replaced,” Assistant U.S. Atty. Brian Hoffstadt said.

When your assailant lunges at you a killer bee…

“The European edition of the Time magazine has selected Linus Torvalds as one of the heroes of the past 60 years. From the main article: ‘In the 60 years that Time has been publishing an Atlantic edition, extraordinary people have emerged from the churn and turmoil, creativity and chaos of a period that witnessed the aftermath of world war, the toppling of communism in Central and Eastern Europe, the vanquishing of apartheid in South Africa, the advance of women, the failure of old certainties and the rise of new fears. These people are our heroes, and in this special anniversary issue, we celebrate them and their many achievements.’ The article on Linus is titled ‘By giving away his software, the Finnish programmer earned a place in history.’ Linus is cited in the ‘Rebels & Leaders’ category along with Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, Margaret Thatcher, and others.”

What bothers me is that “But it is not the music industry’s job to decide what rights consumers have that is the job of government.”. Why don’t I decide what rights consumers have, or their momma, perhaps?
